"She'll say yes," I assuredhim.
"How can you be sosure?"
I shrugged. "She either will or she won't. I'm not sure. I'mhopeful."
Marv eyed me and then sighed, turning back to the window to watch the amusing proceedings as Harlow lodged a snowball at Grayson's head and caught him in the neck instead. Marvchuckled.
"You know," he said, "with the five of us, and her, there's never going to be a dullmoment."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Ireplied.
Marv shifted on his feet, hands going to the buttons on his cuffs. I smirked as I watched him out of the corner of my eye. “Shall we?” Iasked.
He blew out a breath, but nodded, and together—as future husbands to one woman—we headed downstairs and out into thebackyard.
Snowballs flew through the air, crashing into the side of the house my employees and I had built together. I knew this house was strong and that it would hold for a long time to come. I just hoped that the relationship I planned on building with the sparkling woman who rushed up to greet me would remain just asstrong.
“Harlow,” I said, catching her by the shoulders and holding her steady as she came to a stumbling halt, those big brown eyes of hers looking up at me—trusting me, lovingme.
She parted her chapped lips. “Knix?”
The others approached slowly and I smiled. “We have something to give you,” I said. “You don’t have to take it, but if you do, I want you to know that it will meanforever.”
“What are you…” Her lips parted in surprise as I held out the box. There was a tense silence as even the morning birds chirping in the distance faded for one singlemoment.
“Little Bit,” Isaid.
“Sunshine.” Marv steppedup.
“Sweetheart,” Bellamy said from behindher.
“Babydoll,” Grayson whispered as he movedcloser.
“Spider-Monkey…Princess.”
Harlow snorted and cut Texas a glance. He merelyshrugged.
“Will you marry us?” I asked. “And beours?”
She didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”
“Do you promise to love and cherish us forever?” Iasked.
She nodded and made a motion of an X over her chest. “I do. Cross my heart. I’ll love you all until the day Idie.”
Sliding the ring on her finger was the easiest thing I had ever done, and the most satisfying sight I had seen was when the others jumped on her. Kisses rained down on her cheeks and lips and when I finally managed to pull her from their grips, I claimed myown.
“I love you, Little Bit,” I whispered against hermouth.
“I love youtoo.”
The End… or isit?
